Question 1 of 5
A nurse is reinforcing teaching with a client who has a new prescription for lorazepam. Which of the following instructions should the nurse include?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Avoiding driving is critical with lorazepam, a benzodiazepine, due to sedation. Grapefruit juice is unrelated, weight changes are not typical, and stopping abruptly risks withdrawal.
Question 2 of 5
A nurse is collecting data from a client who has a history of schizophrenia. Which of the following findings should the nurse expect?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Flat affect, reduced emotional expression, is typical in schizophrenia. Hyperactivity, weight loss, or fever are not characteristic; disorganized behavior may occur.
Question 3 of 5
A nurse is assisting with the care of a client who is receiving a continuous IV infusion of vancomycin. Which of the following findings should the nurse report to the provider?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Redness at the IV site indicates phlebitis or extravasation, requiring provider notification with vancomycin, which is irritating to veins. Normal creatinine, urine output, and blood pressure are not urgent.
